Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of a Stowaway: A Career of Adventure To write another person's life-history, or narrative of his adventures and experiences, in the first person, and yet give to it the verisimilitude of a genuine autobiography would, under ordinary circumstances, be a difficult, if not impossible, undertaking. Nevertheless there arc occasions when, under certain, though exceptional conditions, this may in a measure be successfully accomplished - as, for instance, when the writer has been intimately, and continuously, acquainted with the individual in question for a period, sufficiently prolonged, to admit of his acquiring a thorough knowledge, not only of the various incidents in his life, but also of his character, disposition, etc. Such an intimate relationship it has been the Author's good fortune to have enjoyed - for nearly forty years - in the person of a friend and brother officer, who died some years ago, and of whose varied and interesting career - from 1852 to 1910 - he has been equally fortunate in possessing - and being lent - sufficient data to have enabled him to write a narrative of adventures by sea and land; which, though a true and faithful record is, in parts at least, as strange, if not "stranger than fiction!' This narrative has been completed, partly from memory, and from notes; but mainly from the more striking incidents in his life as described by himself in some short stories, written by him and contributed to one of the local papers of the town he lived in, and copies of which were kindly placed at the Author's disposal by the widow of his late friend.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You've never heard of the Queen Mary?' They looked shocked. 'Oh yeah! The Queen Mary! Where's it headed?' 'The United States, ' one girl answered. 'What are the chances of stowing away?' I asked. All I had to my name were the clothes on my back, a toothbrush, a razor, my passport, and about $3.50, coupled with a prayer in my heart. 'I'll tell you what, mate. If you got guts enough to stowaway, we'll get ye aboard, and we'll take care of ye.' Without knowing it, I was stepping into a small part of history. In his true-life adventure story, Stacy Miller tells the tale of how he wandered across Europe, only to find himself a stowaway trying to get home on the illustrious RMS Queen Mary's final voyage. During the RMS Queen Mary's 'Last Great Cruise, ' a thirty-nine-day historical voyage from Southampton, England, to Long Beach, California, via Cape Horn, Stacy boarded in Lisbon, Portugal, three days out of Southampton with thirty-six days left to her journey. Though intending to stay undercover, he is discovered and made a crewmember in the middle of this international affair. However, Stacy's story isn't just about being a stowaway on a ship. It's about how a twenty-one-year-old American boy grew up, became stranded in Europe, and took a leap of faith to become a part of an historical event. Find out how his story ends in Stacy Miller's action-packed memoir, The Last Stowaway: RMS Queen Mary.
